New Clutch cover

The '12 cover is fine after being lapped flat on a glass plate, along with the ignition cover. Mine weeped a little stock now no issues. That said, you have to wonder if the oil scavanging vanes on the inside were ever tested since GG was so quick to abandon them. I suspect not and that it was a "shotgun" approach to solving the problem. Honestly they can't hurt, but my older bikes with the alloy covers were just as good. I think its the basket/pressure plate more than anything. Actually they were always good until '11.

A new basket from Rekluse will fix the clutch squawk and vibration for the most part. Definitely an oil flow problem IMO. The new basket must pick the oil up much better. The clutch would be pretty dry between the plates before the new basket.
 
Check and see if the part number cast on the inside has a 'Mg' preceding it.
I had a quick look at my 06 EC200 clutch today. The cover has a "Mg" preceeding the cast in part number, so I guess the magnesium cover is nothing new.
